    CFR "Official" meeting of the FJR Vintage Riders

    I remember standing in line for a Smorg in Reno, I was 54, eyeing up the prices I saw that 55 was considered a senior.....gees that was two years ago. I can still eat like I was 25 for goodness sakes, but the way I feel after is just a little different. With age comes wisdom, if your are...

    Room sharing at the Kuskanax

    Seriously guys, if you have a room with two beds consider sharing it. It worked at the WFO in Moscow Idaho, didn't it MadMike?? I think there were four of us, snoring away in that room, and we survived. Post it up here and make it available.

    CFR 2009 Registration is Open!

    Many of us know FJR riders who don't spend any time on the boards or even care about the internet forums, but are great riders and enthusiasts of our machine and passion. I would encourage everyone who knows someone like this to forward our registration link to them. I did this yesterday and...

    CFR 2009 Registration is Open!

    After you get your registrations done, go back to the site and check out some of those Destination Highway links. These are fantastic and except for the wideangle lens sort of making the roads look a lot straighter than they really are, it is a great tease for the fun we'll have carving the...

    New Years Day ..

    Ditto what Kasey said. The first winter I haven't ridden since I got the FJR in '03. This global warming thingy is all assbackwards. Rog and Deb, glad you had a nice...cool ride. Your lookin' good Deb, how you feelin'? Nice to see you are still hanging on the that crusty Brit!!

    Cornering confidence

    Bogus, you make some very good points re handling. The other aspect that I have found is your postion on the FJR. I see a lot of FJR's have been modified with bar risers, bigger windscreens, and deeper softer seats. I have found that I get the best performance in the twisties when I am up...

    CFR 2009

    Hey Mark, thanks for chiming in. Those maps are pretty nice, thanks for posting them up. Didn't see the freshly paved 31A on any of them, that will be a must do I think to slip over to Halcyon Hot Springs for a soak. All the best good riding buddy.

    CFR 2009

    Those pictures are sweet, should stir up some interest. Nice setup on the bike, looks nice next to the lake.

    Worth it to upgrade from 2003 to new model?

    My '04 is still a pup for goodness sake. 90,000 and humming like is just broken-in. Besides, I am still farkling. Looked at a new '08 in Black.. but it doesn't provide any of the creature comforts I love and have on my '04. If you need more juice for your goodies, then you might as well take...

    CFR 2009

    Just an idea for the CFR....a parking lot rodeo event. Don't think there has ever been one. Lookie here to get your slow speed riding skills up to par. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-aqQvQXmmQ...feature=related Or maybe we could come up with an FJR version of the RCMP musical ride.

    Going to the Dark Side

    This might be a useful Long Distance option, ie IronButt, probably more puncture resistant as well. As said above OC is a pretty handy and careful guy, he is also providing some novel entertainment. Thinking outside the box so to speak.

    Alaska after CFR

    Camping up there? Hope you have a gallon of bug spray and a head net and sleeping net. Seriously, when you stop to take pictures you will know what I mean...as you get eaten alive.

    Squirrely, or slippery, handling in twisties?

    Bridestones are nice when they are new, but they cup like crazy in my experience. Loved to hated them once they go sour. Avons, I have been happy, but recently gone to Mich PR2's and they rock. I put a Smartire pressure monitor on my rims a couple of years ago, because the pressures are so...

    Rear Axle removal

    Now you are an expert, so wasn't that fun? When you are re-nstalling your shaft put the bike in gear, it will make it a lot easier to get seated. And finally, if you use a wide blade screw driver to open up your brake pads, it will make slipping those calipers on a lot easier. Then after it...

    Can't hear my Escort X50 through my Starcom Advanced

    One suggestion, keep your volume dial on the Escort down to low, 'cause when it goes off it will scare the **** out of you. Ask me how I know. Man those front forks compressed so far, the cop could see it from half a mile away, but he didn't get a reading. Works with Laser very well too, you...

    Need Advice: FJR Owners & Advertising

    Motorcycle Consumer News is my favourite magazine because of NO ADVERT's, BUT they do a great 'new product' review on the back page each month. Might be worth a try too.
